How did Durant lose with stacked Thunder team in 2012

[warriorfan]

3 Elite Scorers

Russell Westbrook
James Harden
Kevin Durant

Elite Rim protection and perimeter defense

Surge Ibalka
Thabo Sefolosha


What a choke, put Curry on that team and it's an OKC sweep.

[ISHGoat]

refs, harden choke, and lebron

refs, harden choke, and lebron

no excuses

[LikeABosh]

Same reason Curry and your stacked, all time great Warrios are losing. Lebron.

[dick tracy]

kd and russel were ball hogs
the alst two they double everytime they penetrated
and the heat had better defense

[LakersDaBEst]

Against Prime/Hungry Lebron, Wade, and Bosh


OPs starting to meltdown :lol

[imnew09]

LOL excuses alrdy?

Pathetic OP

[Leftimage]

Lack of poise and composure with Lebron demonstrating the exact opposite, just like this series so far.

The 'Cavs' (the Lebrons) were guilty of this in 07' as well, as are most inexperienced finals contenders.

But to be honest KD played a great series that year... Harden and WB were slightly more to blame, as was their retarded coach (to a much greater degree). Brooks was totally out-strategied by a so-so coach in that series. Glad he is gone now.

[imdaman99]

Heat role players stepped up, OKC role players turned terrible. Plus the refs. And Harden disappearance.

[warriorfan]

excuses? :wtf:

Warriors are still going to win and AMC is going to be FMVPAMC. I ain't worried bout nothin. Made this thread to re-visit how big of a beta Durant is and how he lost with an epic team more stacked than GS.

[Hey Yo]

Wade came to his senses in the fall of 2011 and realized he needed to hand the reigns over to LeBron which resulted in 2 titles in 3yrs.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Thudner didn't have good enough wind defenders

[RoundMoundOfReb]

LeBron James.

[mjokc]

Scott Brooks was an idiotic coach who insisted on playing Kendrick Perkins lots of minutes in every game.

[NZStreetBaller]

The heat were just as stacked and okc was very young and inexperienced.

[DMAVS41]

Harden no showed the finals....Lebron is a much better player.

Not hard.

[Braincells]

Scott Brooks' strategy of iso'ing Durant or Westbrook every offensive possession got exposed badly. No semblance of ball movement or team play. Front court also got exposed like Golden State. Talent will get you far, but coaching with a solid gameplan makes all the difference. Blatt is doing an incredible job collapsing the defense on Curry/Klay and daring everyone else to shoot. I feel like Kerr will go the way of Scott Brooks and get fired if he doesn't make adjustments with the team.

Imagine if Curry had Harden and Westbrook on his team...teams wouldn't be allowed to be double team him at half court and he would drop 40 to 50 PPG

40 to 50 with those 2 players on his team??

hahahaha :rolleyes: he's barely receiving DT at half court now as it is. When it does happen, it's less than 3 seconds

Meh...if he's getting doubled that often....

Why is he averaging 21 shots a game?

You guys make it sound like he's being hard doubled every single time he touches the ball.

He's getting a lot of defensive attention...it's what happens when you are a star unless you either have no help (like Lebron) or so much help that you can't give a lot of attention to one player.

What makes stars...stars...is that they find a way to get shit done regardless. Curry did that in game 1 and did it late in game 3, but the in between was beyond bad and it's by far the main reason his team is down in this series.

Green and Barnes and Bogut haven't played well...and that's part of it, but it all starts at the top...Curry was shit in games 2 and 3...and if he's better they win.

Simple as that.

We have....and Curry had like 6.5 shit qtrs in a row. And it was the main reason his team lost both games 2 and 3.

Even with his shooting coming around in game 3 late...he still turned it over repeatedly in big moments and in the biggest moment...he let Delly get a game changing and 1 right on him.

Sorry you guys don't like it, but it's just the truth.

You don't start complaining about help unless the star is playing well. Curry has not played well so far...therefore you don't complain about help.

52.7% TS (inflated as **** by late shots with no pressure while down big), 95 ortg (seriously??????) and getting sonned by Delly in key moments. Not good enough to win the title...nor should it be.

Curry is getting swarmed with double teams while 3 of his starting 5 can't even score double digit ppg on wide open looks. Fail.
